So it isn't just me then? I think that's why I hate painting things although I love applying a stain or wax to a finished piece and marvel at how rich the grain appears . . . . excuse me while I go and wipe a tear from my eye.

What's vinyl? . . . . is that some kind of cling film?

Hmmm . . . lots of good ideas there. You should be able to get it cut by November without too much trouble. Go on, give it a go, and as you said "I know someone's 50th who would love this". Forget cutting the grass and painting the fence (it's gonna rain over the weekend anyway) get out in...

Ahhhh . . . . yeah, I can see it now Martin :oops: I think the words helped on this one - sorreeeee #-o

Well, it must be me Martin but I've stared at this for a while and can't see what it is. No offence but I can't see a motorcycle :shock:

Would look good on any biker's shelf Martin. Lovely straight cuts. Well done.

+1 Quite right :lol:

. . . . . but he'd have to take a Stanley knife to his sofa :wink:

Well you could always use a backer painted with matt black blackboard paint.

That's very kind of you Bryan. I'm pretty sure his dog is a brown Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . . . it looks pretty close anyway :wink: Sue Mey does some great patterns and I feel the need to treat myself :lol:

Nice piece of cutting Martin. I think the backer really makes it pop (no pun intended).

Well done all round. Good design, well cut and one very happy owner . . . . although I noticed she wasn't wearing a seatbelt!!!

Don't try smuggling in the saw Eugene they might notice when you fire it up. Good health and good luck Barry

Great advice and link Martin, thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I was only curious because for inside cuts (fretwork) the smallest hole you would be able to drill, to feed the blade through, would need to be able to take the blade thickness and the two pins which would mean for delicate work the hole may have to be bigger than the...

There are some great ideas there and I really appreciate your replies. Many thanks. I'm not good with designing patterns either so I'll have a trawl through some of Steve's stuff to look for something suitable. He has a pretty good range and I'm sure to find something suitable or that needs a...

My brother in law will be 70 later this year and I'd like to scroll him something a bit special but am short on ideas . . . . so . . . . I need your help :wink: Have you cut something suitable for an active 70 year old that went down well? Can you think of a suitable subject? He loves his...

Seems odd to want to go TO pinned blades. Usually people want to go to plain blades so they can do inside cuts. Will you just be cutting things out like puzzels then? Just curious really.

Must have taken a long time to make Philip. Well worth it though as the result is very attractive. Well done.

Good work Mick. I think I ought to give the spiral blades a second chance.
